Database Description:
Business Source Complete is the world's definitive scholarly business database, providing the leading collection of bibliographic and full text content. As part of the comprehensive coverage offered by this database, indexing and abstracts for the most important scholarly business journals back as far as 1886 are included. In addition to the searchable cited references provided for more than 1,300 journals.
Search Tips:
Wildcard / Truncation:
Business Source Complete uses an asterisk (*) to replace an unlimited number of letters stemming from a word's root and a question mark (?) to replace a single character inside a word.
Boolean Operators:
Academic Search Complete uses: AND, OR, NOT
AND: Finds records that contain both words, although not necessarily in the same sentence or in the given order. AND ties the two concepts together and provides a more narrow search than just a single word alone.
OR: Finds records that contain either word or both words. Use OR for synonymous or related terms; this broadens the search.
NOT: Finds records that contain the first word and that do not contain the second word.
Nesting / Grouping Search Terms:
The default order of operations is performed from the left to the right. Control you search terms and operators by developing an advanced search strategy with multiple operators, grouping or "nesting" terms joined with OR inside parentheses:
(NYSE OR New York Stock Exchange) AND ("stock symbol" OR "ticker symbol")
Exact Phrase:
Enclose search terms inside quotation marks ("Dow Jones") to ensure that your search terms will appear in the exact order in the search results.
Proximity Operators:
You can use proximity operators to search for two or more words that occur within a specified number of words (or fewer) of each other. The proximity operators are composed of a letter (N or W) and a number (to specify the number of words). The proximity operator is placed between the words that are to be searched, as follows:
Near Operator (N): N5 finds the words if they are within five words of one another regardless of the order in which they appear.
short N5 selling
Within Operator (W): W3 finds the words if they are within three words of one another and in the order in which you entered them.
stock W3 (trader OR agent OR arbitrageur)
Field Searching:
The default fields for unqualified searches consist of the following: all authors, all subjects, all keywords, all title info (including source title) and all abstracts. Field specific searches may be performed on the following fields: All text, Author, Title, Subject terms, Abstract, Journal name, Company entity, Geographic terms, industry code, DUNS number, Ticker symbol, or People mentioned in the article.
Limiting:
Limit results by date, publication type, number of pages, peer-reviewed, and more!
